The Agony

Sometimes I feel like all I do is listen to other women gripe about their husbands. All the way to work this morning I got to hear Mama ranting over Daddy. Then at first break E and A spent the whole time griping about THEIR husbands.  I'm not even married and I can sympathize with them over the butt-ish behavior of men because...I HEAR ABOUT THEM ALL THE TIME.

Thank GOD I'm not married.

On a related note, I'll be baking cookies this weekend. How is that related? Stress relief. Yes. Stress relief from other people's marriages.

On an unrelated note, us girls all went to the just off campus Chinese joint for lunch today. Heard said around the table:

"I'll sit all over your cooties for hours."

"I'm going to eat your cookie now."

I may or may not have said at least one of those things followed by, "That didn't sound right at all."

Then on the way back they made fun of me for saying "totally."

Good times. Thank GOD for a nine day vacation coming up next week! lol

Also, we were totally hoping the university pres would, like, give us Monday and Tuesday off? But, like, it's Friday and no word yet so we're, like, totally sure we've got to work those two days. Bummer.

Also, also, I just spent thirty minutes looking for a printout that was IN MY HAND. Blergh. I think I need to start my vacation NOW.

Happy Friday, ya'll!

Aw, poor baby... Having to work Mon/Tues like everyone else. At least you get part of the week off! And no offense, but I am ROFL at your document search. NOT that I have ever done anything like that myself. *g*

I gotta work all week. :P
I'm taking a half a day on Friday and then a half a day on Tuesday next week.

I gott say, when people dis their husbands it creates this wormhole of dissing conversations. It's really hard to break out of that, but women are really bad about that. It's just easier to relate then say, well my hubby did this great thing.
It's easier to work with men.

I do have one friend/co-worker who NEVER talks smack about her hubby. They haven't been married all that long either, though.

Ya'll are makin' my heart bleed for ya'll with all this talk of werk. ;-)

No, I know I'm completely spoiled. I don't think I could even work in a secular job after having worked for a university with all it's perks for ten and a half years.

I'm Lost

Boy.  Last night was the most intense 2.5 hours of my LIFE. Well, the part of my life that I relegate to television viewing, anyway. Last night, as you may have heard, was THE END for LOST. If you haven't been watching it for the past six years, what were you doing with your life? LOL No, I know. It was one of those things you were either fully emersed in or you didn't want to expend the energy it took to follow it. Because it did take a lot of energy to follow it. And as much as I was held captivated by it, I am really too stupid to really full grasp it. No, seriously. I've read the discussion boards. I've followed other blogs about it. And I'd always be like, "Why didn't I catch that?" or "I completly missed that." My brain is merely too simple to comprehend all the little mysteries and tie-ins and connections that were hidden throughout six seasons of this show. It was no different last night. Honestly, the finale was gripping an...

Me and the boob tube

Ever met someone who is passionate about her TV shows? Well, if not, you have now. Yeah, I'm probably fairly sad with how involved I become with some shows but believe me...I know some folks who are a LOT worse than me. Just trust me on this. I have maybe a handful of shows that I watch without fail whenever they're on and set my VCR to tape if I'm out. (Yeah, I still have a VCR...and I will until they no longer make 'em) Monday night is Medium night. Tuesday night is BB6 in the summer Charmed on TNT in fall. Wednesday is Lost and Alias (in regular season anyway) Thursday night is BB6 in summer and Will and Grace in fall. Friday night sucks since they cancelled Joan of Arcadia. Saturday night is BB6 in summer and Trading Spaces. Sunday night is Desperate Housewives and The 4400 in summer. Everyday things are Gilmore Girls on ABC Family, 30 Minute Meals on Food Network and Bold and the Beautiful. Last night, of course, was BB6. Now, I'm not one to enjoy many reality ...

Ten Things That Make Me Happy Today

Image
1.) Chuck . Chuck makes me very happy. I'm still flying high from the time I spent with him last night. Seriously, it's like the second Zachary Levi walks on screen and gives that trademark smile my heart goes all gooey in my chest and my lips curve up all dreamy smile-ish and for that one hour each Monday night I'm on cloud nine. Pitiful, no? 2.) Her. 'Nuff said. 3.) My friends. All of 'em. Ms. B who I only get to see once a month and chat on the phone every few weeks. E who talks me into field trips to Starbucks so that we can blame each other for being bad. Trix who hated the way Medium ended, too. (And always sends me the awesomest handmade cards.) BFF who calls once a month to update me on the ever shifting drama of her life. (She's doing much better, by the way. Goes back to work next week.) Jen who  once--in a round about way--compared me to the awesome Pioneer Woman. (And who's love story to her fireman still gives me hope that true love real...
